Please help me to build my self esteem
And please be patient with me in some areas
For I maybe according to some a late bloomer,
I need my sense of dignity
So please do not belittle me in front of others
For I will take far more notice of you if you
Speak to me in private in an understanding voice,
I need to feel good about myself so please do not
Ridicule me in front of others or imply my inappropriate
Behavior means that I am bad as it wears down my sense
Of self worth, When you experience something annoying
within your day Please do not take it out upon me,
I am far more capable than you could imagine,
Please help me to blossom and reach my highest potential
By giving me lots of encouragement and understanding
As the more I feel safe and protected the more my inner self
will risk being shown, Please remember I thrive on love and
understanding but surely I do not have to tell you that do I ,
Please do not ever compare me with others or anybody else,
I just want you to love and like me for simply who I am, All you
have to do is know that I love you far more than I ever could say .
